New developments in erectile dysfunction treatments: A role for regenerative medicine

Abstract

Erectile dysfunction is a highly prevalent issue related to the sexual wellness of millions of men worldwide. While conventional therapies have been successful for many, there remains a significant subset of individuals who do not respond adequately or experience undesirable side effects. This article reviews the emerging field of regenerative medicine as a potential breakthrough in the management of ED. Regenerative therapies, especially platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy along with stem cell therapy, provide novel approaches to tackling the fundamental causes of ED. By harnessing the body's natural healing mechanisms, these treatments hold promise for restoring erectile function and improving patients' quality of life. This review explores the mechanisms of action, benefits, and current research findings related to regenerative therapies for ED, emphasizing their potential to revolutionize the treatment landscape for this prevalent condition. As ongoing research continues to shed light on their safety and efficacy, regenerative therapies may pave the way for a brighter future in the management of erectile dysfunction.
